"Oh no, oh no, I've really messed up this time."
"At this critical juncture, who can come and save me? Who can save me?!"
Tang San was utterly numb. At this moment, various thoughts spun rapidly in his mind, and cold sweat unknowingly drenched his back.
However, no one paid attention to what he was thinking.
The heavenly curtain did not change due to Tang San's emotional fluctuations.
It continued to play the conversation between Yu Chen and Dugu Bo in an orderly manner.
...
[Above the heavenly curtain, Yu Chen spoke with a smile.
Seeing his demeanor, Dugu Bo, who had just been frowning, was naturally surprised.
With surprise and confusion, he immediately asked him again,
"You have a method that satisfies both? Since you have a method, why didn't you say so earlier?"
It was clear that he was extremely puzzled by Yu Chen's current actions.
And seeing his expression, Yu Chen found it perfectly natural.
After blinking his eyes, he spoke, with a hint of mischievousness in his words.
He stated that as soon as they had approached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo had tried to take their lives.
Therefore, this time it was intentional, just to give Dugu Bo a good headache, so as to vent the anger in his heart.
He spoke these words frankly and seriously.
Hearing him say this, Dugu Bo was stunned, then came back to his senses, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Not only did he not resent Yu Chen because of this matter,
but he felt that this Brother Yu in front of him was becoming more and more to his liking.
However, after the laughter, his expression became serious, and he immediately asked about the main topic.
He wanted to know what the other solution Yu Chen had just mentioned was.
Hearing his question,
Yu Chen naturally didn't hide anything and explained straightforwardly.
He clearly stated that his so-called second method this time also required the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Inferno Apricot, these two Immortal Herbs.
However, the method used this time was not to have Dugu Bo directly consume these two Immortal Herbs.
Instead, it was to find a medium to act as a transit station, allowing it to first absorb the medicinal power within these Immortal Herbs, for dilution and digestion.
Then, its blood would be mixed with some blood-activating and stasis-removing pills,
and then given to Dugu Bo for consumption.
This way, it could maximize the preservation of his poisonous cultivation while also dispelling the drawbacks caused by the snake venom deeply penetrating his bones due to long-term cultivation.
After saying this, he also added some information he knew from ancient texts about the collection methods of these two Immortal Herbs.
He especially emphasized that only jade should be used for collection, not metal.
Dugu Bo naturally wrote down everything he said.
After listening, he looked up again, but couldn't help but smile and say to Yu Chen,
"Consuming two Immortal Herbs simultaneously as a transit station, you, young man, if you want to consume the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, you can just say so. Why beat around the bush so much?"
"What, are you afraid I won't agree?"
"I'm telling the truth." Seeing his expression, Yu Chen also felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. He spoke seriously, explaining again, "You really do need a transit for the best effect."
Dugu Bo, however, no longer dwelled on it, but continued to press for details, "I can get such great benefits, so how much benefit can the person who actively consumes these two herbs this time get? Those are truly Immortal Herbs, I'm afraid their Spirit will directly improve, right?"
Yu Chen also didn't hide anything. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "It's hard to say, but one thing is certain: after this experience, he will be immune to water and fire, and all poisons will be repelled!"
"Water and fire refining the body, interesting..."
Dugu Bo murmured after hearing these words, as if falling into deep thought because of it.
Seeing him like this, Yu Chen seemed to have misunderstood something and immediately added, "Brother Dugu, if you don't believe me, you can also choose the first method and consume them yourself."
Dugu Bo came back to his senses upon hearing this and laughed directly,
"Use people without suspicion, suspect people without using them. Since I believe you, it's impossible for me to only believe half of what you say.
Besides, there's no reason for you to help me, and for me not to get any benefits.
Let alone these two methods this time, the second method is actually the most effective for me. Even if the first method were the most effective, I would still unhesitatingly choose the latter. You can rest assured about that.
Let's go, Brother Yu, you come with me into this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to select the herbs. I will assist you in personally consuming them."
After speaking, he stood up and proactively reached out to pull him, about to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Seeing his demeanor, Yu Chen couldn't help but smile and politely declined the other party's kind offer.
He clearly stated that the person he was referring to for consuming the Immortal Herb this time was not himself.
But Bibi Dong, who had been standing behind him, saying little.
"You said to let who consume the Immortal Herb, that yellow-haired girl behind you?!"
Hearing him say this, Dugu Bo was naturally greatly surprised.
His gaze swept back and forth between the two.
After a moment, as if understanding something, he couldn't help but lean next to Yu Chen, and earnestly, yet again, warned him.
"It's not that your older brother is lecturing you, Brother Chen, it's true that you should invest heavily when pursuing a girl these days, but isn't using Immortal Herbs as an investment a bit too much?
Aren't you worried that after this girl's strength increases, she'll turn on you and kick you to the curb? This isn't your older brother trying to scare you; women can turn on you faster than flipping a book. I've seen countless similar situations."
Dugu Bo's personality was inherently peculiar. If someone wasn't to his liking, even if they tried every means to please him, he wouldn't bother with them much.
But if someone was to his liking, even if it was their first meeting, he would have a heart-to-heart talk with them and immediately consider them a close friend.
This was precisely the case when facing Yu Chen this time.
His words were truly earnest and heartfelt.
Hearing him say this, before Yu Chen could even speak further,
Bibi Dong had already become anxious. She spoke first, agitatedly adding,
"Nonsense! What kind of person do you take me, Bibi Dong, for? I would betray anyone but never Yu Chen!"
"For this, I am willing to swear to the heavens! If I violate this oath, may I be condemned by both gods and men!!!"
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with anger,
but she didn't know that all of this was actually Dugu Bo's test.
So, upon hearing Bibi Dong say this, Dugu Bo not only didn't get angry, but instead burst into laughter.
While laughing, he told Yu Chen that he had found a good girlfriend.
He insisted that Yu Chen must invite him, his old brother, to their wedding for a celebratory drink.
It was only when she heard his laughter
that Bibi Dong realized she had fallen into a trap.
Her entire face instantly flushed crimson.
She swiftly hid in Yu Chen's embrace, and while shy, she then spoke, declining Yu Chen's offer.
She felt that the matter of the Immortal Herb was entirely Yu Chen's doing.
She hadn't contributed even a bit and was not qualified to receive even a tiny fraction of it.
Such a precious opportunity should be given to Yu Chen instead.
Seeing her demeanor, Yu Chen also had his own persistence, believing that the fusion of these two poisonous plants.
could not only temper the physical body,
but for Bibi Dong, who naturally possessed the two poison-type Spirits, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Eating Spider Emperor, it was an extremely rare spiritual elixir.
It would definitely help her advance further.
Greatly shortening the time it would take for her to become a Titled Douluo, and even to step into a higher realm.
Yu Chen spoke these words with extreme seriousness.
Titled Douluo, Spirit evolution—these undoubtedly held immense appeal for all Spirit Masters.
However, upon hearing these things he said,
Bibi Dong showed no interest whatsoever. She still shook her head like a rattle, indicating that these two Immortal Herbs must be absorbed by Yu Chen.
The two, who had rarely blushed since leaving Spirit Hall, uncharacteristically argued over this matter.]
